Dick Vitale

You would probably be hard-pressed to find a person with more natural energy and enthusiasm than Dick Vitale -- former high school, college, and NBA basketball coach turn sports broadcaster.

Indeed, it's kind of hard to think of college basketball these days without Dick Vitale coming to mind.

And when I met him, more than 32 years ago now, he seemed as perplexed as anyone by how successful he had actually become.
